Ignacio Antonio's story

Sr. Ignacio is 65 years old, married, and has six grown children who are independent. His wife works at their family’s business. They live in Manta, a beautiful city situated on the Pacific coast of southern Manabí Province. This place is known for its beautiful beaches and exquisite cuisine.

Ignacio is hardworking and dedicated to his family. He and his wife have a provisions store where they sells sugar, snacks, rice, tuna, coffee, water, colas, and other products. They wake up very early so that they can attend to the customers who visit their business first thing in the morning.
